About this Event
Give robins and other garden wildlife a helping hand this winter.
Join us at Potteric Carr for a hands-on workshop where you’ll make your own open-fronted nest box, designed with robins in mind. Take your creation home and discover how you can make your garden a welcoming place for birds and other wildlife, even if you only have a small outdoor space.
Our experienced wildlife gardener will share practical tips and ideas for creating wildlife-friendly gardens, from providing natural food and shelter to offering safe places for birds to nest.
Suitable for aged 12+
£25 per person, including all materials and tools, a warming drink and mince pie on arrival, plus entry to Potteric Carr Nature Reserve so you can enjoy the rest of the Yorkshire Robin Festival.
